amiableamy Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 So I've dated this guy (Nick) for about two months and things are moving faster than they have for me with any other guy I've dated. My family's a huge part of my life and he wants to meet them. I think two months might be a tad early, but I think it's awesome that he wants to meet them. Is it too soon? I can see things headed in the right direction, whether he meets them or not, I just wonder if it's too soon for a pretty important step. Thoughts?
tigressA Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 I don't think it's too soon at all. Two months is fine. And it IS awesome that he wants to meet them and has talked to you about it. Some people definitely are not like that when it comes to meeting family members. Do keep it low-key, though, for the first meeting. Perhaps having breakfast or lunch out together would be best. Then you can graduate to dinners and other events.
BetterOffWithoutYou Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 my ex felt the same way about me meeting his family. all i know was it made me feel bad bc we had really strong feelings and i couldn't understand why he didn't want to share it with his family. needless to say it took me 6 months to meet his mom, and i always felt awkward around his fam bc it took so long for them to get to know me. they had already thought things that weren't true about me and our relationship because it took so long for them to get to know me and see how much we loved each other. it def caused issue in our relationship. my advice would be to not wait so long your bf might feel hurt or your family doesn't get to know him and how much you both care about each other. just wanted to share bc i don't want the something like i went through to affect any other ppl who are happy! good luck!
